Vikings Season 1 introduces the legendary world of the Norsemen through the eyes of Ragnar Lothbrok, a fearless farmer-warrior who dreams of exploring lands beyond the known seas. Set in the late 8th century, the season follows Ragnar as he challenges the traditions of his people and defies his powerful chieftain, Earl Haraldson, by building new ships capable of sailing west.
Alongside his loyal brother Rollo, strong-willed wife Lagertha, and trusted friend Floki, Ragnar leads daring raids across the sea to England. These journeys bring wealth, power struggles, and brutal battles, while also revealing the cultural clash between the Vikings and the Christian world.
Season 1 focuses on ambition, faith, family, and the thirst for discovery, setting the foundation for Ragnar’s rise from a simple farmer to a legendary Viking leader and paving the way for epic conflicts in later seasons.
